Picture a post-war apartment, original wooden floors, furnished in a mid-century modern style with vintage teak sideboards, and patterned rugs. Crochet blankets are thrown over armchairs and topped with two sleeping orange cats. On a wonderfully comfortable couch sits me, a glass of rosé in one hand and a book in the other. A fantasy novel that heavily leans on Eastern European folklore, or ancient mythology. Rules to live by: Sundays are for spending in cafes, coffee is better with chocolate, an outfit is only complete with lipstick, travel as far and as often as you can and always go alone.
